Hey folks, just a quick message to let everyone know that I'm cancelling all future plans I've posted here for the StP website. The etsy store has been closed, and the donations have been disabled. The website will continue on in a kind of... -
NamelessExistence replied to the thread how to travel with kids?.Maybe get an RV. I knew a family who lived on a tour bus styled RV who traveled that way and when my dads band would go on the road the band would join them. -

Back out there after a 25 year break to raise a daughter and pursue a career that ended up going nowhere. Got on a westbound at 2am this morning in fort Worth and still heading west past Midland! I'm suddenly remembering what freedom is like and...

C0ffeeCat replied to the thread possibly homeless soon.You know, I was looking into WWOOF too, and there's a few listings on there that seemed pretty cool all things considered. If you guys end up working with WWOOF, I'd definitely be interested in hearing how that goes. I also looked into Communes... -

never once got a ride from a truckstop. ime only way to get back to the rails is on an onramp. some old lady or a tweaker in a beat up old sedan like RVers, truckers dont gasf about anything but their cargo -

It's possible to go very fast. It's possible to go slow. Amtrak is SO NICE have you ever done it? It's the most amazing thing. My friend once made it from LA to Montreal in like three days no kidding. She is a hot girl tho. Anyway two weeks to...

echoing what time said, I think 2 weeks is plenty/realistic. Less than that if you hit up truck stops and talk to drivers. This can feel weird, but in my experience it's usually the quickest way to go cross country. Where you gonna surf?

as long as it takes to drive it, technically. then again, have fun standing with your thumb out for countless hours hearing nothing but passing engines

Best case scenario, no bullshit, straight shot is around 50 hours coast to coast. That said I've never ever been that fortunate, philly to fuckno in my experience is a three to four week trip on the hitch. hwy 76, 70, 44, 40, 58 and 99, you'll...

One thing you could do is leave about 3 weeks or a month before the date of the show with enough money for an emergency bus ticket if you're late. That way you dont have to stress too much about the schedule. Traveling with a time limit kinda...

I took really good records on a long trip in 2019 so I often use these as a rough guideline - over 54 days of rides, I averaged 160 miles a day. This doesn't include the times I spent all day looking for a ride, just to have to find a place to...

It depends. One time it took me 4 days to hitch from WA to TX. But on the way back, I had to hitch for a little over a month. Sometimes the rides you need come through, and sometimes they just fucking don't.😮💨 How early you leave, depends on...

Aabolishrent replied to the thread possibly homeless soon.Ah sounds tough. We've actually been involved in a lot of mutual aid over the years, its how we met.

Hey I’m Jack and I’m new to this lifestyle. I originally joined this website because I wanted to learn how to hop trains and travel this summer. If anyone has any advice or just wants to say hello I’m here ya know.

C0ffeeCat replied to the thread New to this lifestyle (looking for travel buddy).I'm also fairly new to this lifestyle, I ran the streets as a kid, but we always had houses to go back to so I'm not sure what all awaits me on the road. Gonna be gearing up to hit the road from Ohio in another month, or two. Been wracking my...

C0ffeeCat replied to the thread possibly homeless soon.I'm more or less in the same situation you guys are. Currently at my partner's place, but there's a stupid limit of one person per room, so I'm here secretly while I get my affairs in order. Been trying to find cheap, fuel efficient cars, and...

NamelessExistence reacted to MetalBryan's post in the thread Travel time on a loaded bicycle with Like.
The recommended stamina for bicycle touring on a self-sufficient trip is 50-60 miles per day done 5-6 days a week. The more you fall short of this goal, the closer you should stay to civilization so you don't run out of food/water on an extended...

I'd recommend avoiding Humboldt altogether and checking out Mendo instead. The coastline is gorgeous and it's more of an artist's community. The mom 'n pop growers in Garberville are having a really rough time. It just isn't a safe, friendly, or...
